Respiratory portion
Respiratory Epithelium
Most of the conducting portion ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Smoker ????
the proportion of ciliated cells to goblet cells is altered

Olfactory Epithelium
Olfactory Epithelium
Olfactory Epithelium
olfactory cilia (Ci), basal cell (BC), olfactory cell (OC), lamina propria (LP)
Sinuses & Nasopharynx
Paranasal sinuses :
thinner respiratory epithelium with fewer goblet cells
the lamina propria contains only a few small glands
Sinusitis???
obstruction of drainage orifices
immotile cilia syndrome defective ciliary action
Nasopharynx
the first part of the pharynx
it is lined with respiratory epithelium
contains the medial pharyngeal tonsil
contains bilateral openings of the auditory tubes to each middle ear
Larynx Short passageway for air between the pharynx and trachea.
Its wall contains skeletal muscles and pieces of cartilage
for sound production.
cilia (Ci), goblet cells (GC), mucous glands (MG), hyaline C-ring (HC), lumen (L),perichondrium (PC)
Bronchial tree & Lung
Bronchus
epithelium (E), lamina propria (LP), smooth muscle (SM), cartilage (C), blood vessels (V), nerves (N), lung tissue (LT)
Bronchiolus
Large bronchiole
Smaller
bronchiole
Very small
bronchiole
respiratory epithelium (E), connective tissue (C), smooth muscle (arrow), arteriole (A), venule (V), lymphocytes (L)
Terminal Bronchiolus & Clara Cells
ciliated cuboidal and columnar nonciliated epithelium
Clara Cells
Lysozyme
Cytokines
alveoli (A)
capillaries (C)
type I alveolar cells (I)
type II alveolar cells (II)
alveolar macrophages (M)
Alveolar walls
the alveoli are collapsed and the respiratory bronchioles and alveolar
ducts are dilated and contain edema fluid.
Emphysema
chronic lung disease
squamous mesothelium (M), alveoli (A), blood vessels (V), lymphatics (L)
